From The Director of ‘The Suffering’, Infiltrate a Cult in ‘The Church in Darkness’

Published

on

Fans of The Suffering should take note. Paranoid Productions’ upcoming game The Church in Darkness, which just released its alpha, has a familiar face in the form of Richard Rouse III, who was the director of The Suffering. Unlike The Suffering, The Church in Darkness isn’t about going in guns blazing, but is more akin to Metal Gear‘s stealth component.

Set in the 1970s, you must infiltrate and navigate a cult compound in South America to save your nephew. To do so, you must rely on stealth and avoid detection. You will have opportunities to get your hands dirty, but there will be consequences if you do. The story will be told largely through the compound’s PA system, which is operated by cult leaders Isaac and Rebecca Walker, as well as in-game documents.

The game is currently on itch.io, where you can also purchase a limited True Believer Special Edition copy of the game for $29.95. And I do mean limited. Currently, there are just under 800 keys left. What’s inside, you ask? Besides getting access to the Alpha preview build, you get the 28-song soundtrack and a behind-the-scenes video on the making of the game.

You can also follow the game on Steam. The Church in Darkness is due out in full next year.

Clive Barker

We told you earlier this month that horror legend Clive Barker is leaving the convention scene behind to focus entirely on his writing, with various upcoming projects in the works.

A series of final appearances from Barker will begin at Days of the Dead Chicago this month, and we’ve learned Barker will also be coming to Monster Mania in New Jersey.

Clive Barker will be signing at Monster Mania 59 in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, which runs from August 2 – August 4, 2024. Stay tuned for more info from the convention.

Barker’s official statement earlier this month explained, “… it’s time to focus entirely on writing. I’m not stopping public events because I’ve lost delight in meeting you all over the years. I’m as passionate as ever about sharing my imagination with readers and moviegoers around the world. In the very room where I’m writing these words, I have the manuscripts for a very large number of projects (Thirty-one of them), some very close to completion, others still telling themselves. There are some wild projects in this collection of works, whether close to finished or done. There are also stories that you all knew I would be finishing.”

“Abarat IV and V are amongst the books at my feet,” he continued. “So is the Third and final book of The Art and the sequel to The Thief of Always. There are also return visits to characters and mythologies you may have thought I would never return to.

“I hope I am still able to surprise you in the decades ahead.”
